To transform our culture by creating a world where science and technology are celebrated andwhere young people dream of becoming science and technology leaders.

FIRST is More Than Robots. The robots are a vehicle for students to learn important life skills. Kids often come in not knowing what to expect – of the program nor of themselves. They leave, even after the first season, with a vision, with confidence, and with a sense that they can create their own future.

The kits are a one time investment as they are reusable year after year and can be ordered at any time but it is ideal to order it before the season starts for extra prep time. The kits contain sheet metal, motors and sensors that can be used to create a competitive robot. The robot can be programmed using Blocks, OnBotJava or Android Studios.
